Forum Home Enhancements - [YUI] Tabbed Forum Home

[YUI] Tabbed Forum Home (TFH) version 4.0.8
vBulletin version: 4.1.11 - 4.2.0
Older versions need original mod for now

Description:
This MOD is for creating a "Tabbed" Forum Home Page to have Categories and other Data types (via Modules) displayed within Tab containers. Please do not confuse this with the Tab Menu System here at vbulletin.org. They are totally different systems. These Tabs actually switch the content via AJAX without leaving the main forums page.

This is an entirely new version of TFH and only works with vB4. Management is all done via the Admin CP.

Installation is done in 3 simple steps. Upload files, Import product, 3 easy Template Edits.

Setup is now a breeze via the Tabs option in the Admin CP.

The attached Zip File contains the Files and Instructions necessary to install.

Incompatible mods
Two columns of categories - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=275114

Upgrading to 4.0.7+ from previous versions
We have had to change the mod's id which means when you install this time you will have 2 mods, the new version with its new id and the old version.
Both can run side by side but shouldnt to save processing time.

To migrate:
Install the latest version and upload all the files (no conflicts to worry about)
Install the latest product xml
Follow the template changes in the upgrade txt
Create your tabs in the new admincp menu option "EG: Tabbed Forum Home" to mirror the existing "Tabbed Forum Home" menu.
Once done uninstall the product "Tabbed Forum Home" with productid bobster_tfh (old mod id)

I need some help.

Some of my categories are not showing up in the tabs. I have made sure the correct ID is placed and nothing shows up. (They are categories and have no parent forums). Exact same setup as the ones that already work but this one and another are not working.

Can anybody help?

Well, when I edit the template and insert code before </head> , it's totally ruin break the forum and become a mess.

I remove the code and it back as normal so that code is the problem here!!

Could you point out what is the problem here?

Thanks.

Hi

Can you add a notification to let viewers aware that JavaScript needs to be enabled? I have disabled mine and no message to alert me of an issue.

I have an issue with this plugin. The forum link (not act a forum) redirects to the forum home page. Any reason why?

Got it working fine on my forum Latest version available: 4.2.0 Patch Level 3.
I do have one question however.

Any way we can set usergroups to have different tabs to load default?

I don't agree with what you said. I believe it is based on AJAX library so you don't need to worry about Java script function on the browser.... it would work anyways

I just made a little test without Java "java disabled" on my browser and it worked fine... no issues.

Cheers
